Stunning and tasteful transformation ...equally surprised there wasn't a bidding war or at the very least a full price offer!

Only 1 episode?!?! HGTV should have ordered a ton of seasons!

Beautiful renovation... Anymore episodes? This is higly interesting. And Darren and Kate are very friendly and dedicated...

Beautiful result. The first house needs your rescue too.

Love love this house, the transformation is unbelievable. Their ability to integrate the old with the new so tastefully is beyond words. I'm inspired!!

That’s one of the most amazing houses I have seen on hgtv, I could not believe it sold for so that price. Definitely worth more

Please pick up these two and do a TV show on Gut job!!! LOVE THEM and their interactions. They did a beautiful job. Would love to see them go back and do the other house!!!

The babies and kids in this video are so cute and well behaved. Oh the house is beautiful too!

First time viewer here with some feedback: 1. Instead of putting the wide round table in the middle of the entry with the odd rectangular rug underneath, I would have added two comfy chairs next to the fireplace. 2. They literally saved that house. It's always so nice to see some of the original character of the home salvaged and brought back to life, like the wood floors, those corner cabinets and the leaded windows. 3. I love every single room. It all looks so fresh, clean and bright, but also interesting. 4. That young couple who might put an offer in were adorable and their little boy was so stinking cute!!!!!!!! 💙

During the depression, some jurisdictions allow a person to build a garage first to keep the cost down and allow the family a place to live till they can afford to build their home on the front of the lot, thus turning the temporary living quarters into its original purpose a garage. Kenosha Wisconsin was such a jurisdiction.

Absolutely gorgeous remodel! I live about 20 miles from this beautiful home. I hope HGTV picks up your show. Some of the new shows leave a lot to be desired, imho. The designs just don't inspire me. PS. I went to high school in NE Ohio and we had several Mancuso's (Joey). Though I'm guessing that is a pretty popular Italian name.

That same house would list for over a mill here in Greater Boston Nice Job!

The neighbors have to fix the melted siding. Walking up to a house like that is a big red flag for a lot of people.

On balance, they did a lovely renovation. I love the exterior, but there are things about the inside that I don't like so much. The guest bedroom was obviously too small as was the office and I think there were comprises not shown on camera why they didn't get the top price.

i agree with the wife on this one i love those old lead style windows and even if you pull the other 5 out save them and i bet if you sold them as is your looking between 250 and 300 each

Most of Indonesian modern house built by brick. Myb it is depend on their weather and season. Living in tropic country has to avoid wood bcause some insect can broke the wood.

when would someone say that it would be harmful to live in this and that the paint will start to let through the fumes. I did a lot of restorations and they were always not happy clients. it was just that the old woman had her eyebrows painted.

Love seeing these full guts to the studs

Tudor Revival homes have such character, and this one was stripped of most of it. I don't expect a remodel to make an old home look like a museum, but it should at least be sensitive to the style of architecture. This interior could be found in any modern condo. What a waste.

The PRIMARY bed and bath suite should've been down on the main.

Enjoy watching twice.🌑❤️

I didn’t realize Mike Pence had gone into home renovation.

I really wonder on what they could've done with ugly house in Ohio City!? This transformation was good but they had good bones to work with from the start. Ohio city house, shudder!

It looks great except the exterior brick is too bland & the fireplaces have lost the detail due to the off-putting bright white paint color :)(

But this show is really good I seen a lot of homes similar in Gary Indiana. And the only thing contractors want to do is demo and rebuild. This show can really be the start of rebuilding in Detroit or similar areas.
